A: At 2560x1440, the average frame rates range from 83 FPS at Ultra to 125 FPS at Low. Medium settings produce 105 FPS average with 89 FPS minimum and 121 FPS maximum, while High delivers 94 FPS average.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how this combo scales across resolutions. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at High settings, the average frame rate drops from 124 FPS to 94 FPS, a 24% reduction. Stepping up to 3840x2160 at High brings the average down to 63 FPS, which is a 49% drop from 1080p and a 33% drop from 1440p. This scaling pattern suggests the GPU becomes increasingly stressed at higher resolutions, while the CPU maintains sufficient headroom.

At Low settings, the scaling is even more dramatic. The 1080p Low average of 167 FPS falls to 125 FPS at 1440p (25% drop) and then to 84 FPS at 4K (33% drop from 1440p, 50% from 1080p). This steep descent indicates the Arc B570's 10 GB GDDR6 memory and 160-bit bus width become limiting factors as pixel count rises. The GPU's 380.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 11.52 TFLOPS FP32 compute are adequate for 1080p but stretched at 4K.

The Medium settings row provides the only complete min/max data across all resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the combo averages 139 FPS with a minimum of 118 and maximum of 160. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 105 FPS with a minimum of 89 and maximum of 121. At 4K Medium, the average falls to 70 FPS with a minimum of 60 and maximum of 81. These figures show consistent scaling where each resolution step costs roughly 25-33% of the previous frame rate.

The limiting component shifts with resolution. At 1080p, the CPU's strong single-thread performance (1,960 in Cinebench R23 single-core, 4,135 in Passmark single-thread) keeps frame rates high, allowing the GPU to be the primary constraint. At 4K, the GPU's pixel rate of 200.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 360.0 GTexel/s become the clear bottleneck, as evidenced by the Ultra setting producing only 55 FPS average at 3840x2160 versus 110 FPS at 1920x1080.

Settings Recommendations

For players seeking the best balance of visual quality and frame rate, the Medium preset at 2560x1440 stands out as the optimal choice. This configuration delivers 105 FPS average with a minimum of 89 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay without significant frame drops. The 1440p Medium setting also provides a substantial visual upgrade over 1080p while maintaining frame rates well above 60 FPS.

At 4K, Medium is the only sensible option. The 70 FPS average with a 60 FPS minimum keeps gameplay fluid, whereas High drops to 63 FPS and Ultra falls to 55 FPS average. For players with 4K displays, Medium settings represent the sweet spot where the Arc B570's capabilities align with playable performance.

For those prioritizing maximum frame rates, 1080p Low delivers 167 FPS average, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. The 1080p Medium setting at 139 FPS average offers a better compromise, adding visual fidelity while still maintaining triple-digit frame rates. At 1440p, Low produces 125 FPS average, which may be preferable for competitive play or fast-paced sections of the game.

The Ultra preset is only recommended at 1080p, where it achieves 110 FPS average. At 1440p Ultra, the 83 FPS average is acceptable but not ideal for high-refresh displays, and 4K Ultra's 55 FPS average dips below the smoothness threshold most players prefer. The data suggests Ultra settings provide diminishing returns in Dave The Diver, given the game's art style likely benefits less from maximum graphical fidelity than more visually demanding titles.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo achieves its highest frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce 167 FPS average, followed by Medium at 139 FPS with a minimum of 118 and maximum of 160. High settings deliver 124 FPS average, while Ultra drops to 110 FPS average. The spread from Low to Ultra represents a 34% reduction in average frame rate, showing the GPU handles this resolution comfortably regardless of preset.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong but show the GPU working harder. Low settings deliver 125 FPS average, Medium produces 105 FPS with a minimum of 89 and maximum of 121, High reaches 94 FPS, and Ultra settles at 83 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 34%, similar to the 1080p scaling, but the absolute values are roughly 25% lower across the board.

At 3840x2160, the Arc B570 begins to show its limits. Low settings yield 84 FPS average, Medium produces 70 FPS with a minimum of 60 and maximum of 81, High drops to 63 FPS, and Ultra falls to 55 FPS. The Ultra-to-Low spread at 4K is 35%, consistent with the other resolutions, but the overall performance ceiling is noticeably lower. The 60 FPS minimum at 4K Medium is the only sub-60 FPS minimum recorded in the entire dataset, indicating that 4K gameplay can approach the edge of smoothness.

The complete dataset shows a clear pattern: each resolution step costs approximately 25-33% of frame rate at every settings level. The Medium preset consistently provides the best min/max stability, with the 1080p configuration showing a 42 FPS delta between minimum and maximum, 1440p showing a 32 FPS delta, and 4K showing a 21 FPS delta. This tighter frame time distribution at higher resolutions suggests the GPU's workload becomes more consistent as it becomes more heavily utilized.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X brings 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 4 Raphael architecture, manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process. Its base clock of 4.70 GHz and boost clock of 5.30 GHz provide strong single-thread performance, which is crucial for Dave The Diver's adventure gameplay. The CPU scores 1,960 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 4,135 in Passmark single-thread, placing it in the upper tier for single-threaded workloads.

In multithreaded tasks, the 7600X achieves 15,236 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 13,858 in Geekbench multi-core. Its 3DMark scores show scaling from 1,060 in single-thread to 6,879 in 16-thread tests, with 2,028 in 2-thread, 3,796 in 4-thread, and 5,715 in 8-thread configurations. The Passmark multithread score of 28,390 and physics score of 1,824 indicate the CPU handles parallel workloads effectively, though Dave The Diver rarely stresses all 12 threads simultaneously.

The 32 MB shared L3 cache and 1 MB L2 cache per core provide ample data storage for game assets, while the dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth ensures the CPU can feed the GPU without becoming a bottleneck. The PCIe Gen 5 interface with 24 lanes from the CPU offers high bandwidth connectivity, though the Arc B570 uses PCIe 4.0 x8, which is sufficient for this workload.

The data shows the CPU is not the limiting factor in this combo. At 1080p Low, the 167 FPS average suggests the CPU can drive frame rates well beyond what the GPU delivers at higher settings. The 7600X's 79th-percentile ranking and its position within 0.4% of its nearest rivals confirm it performs as expected for its class. The game's genre and release date of 2023-06-27 mean it does not demand extreme CPU resources, allowing this 2022-released processor to provide ample headroom even at 4K resolutions where the GPU becomes the primary constraint.
